purpleblue Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Yet another problem :-/ I did a little script, that prints out a webpage from Firefox. Before doing so, it adjusts the printer's settings. Within these there is a checkbox ('Resize to fit page width'), which I need to be unchecked. Unfortunately the InfoTools doesn't give controll information for that checkbox, so I can't use the control-functions but instead have to do a mouse click. But how can I tell if that click echecked or unchecked the box? TIO, PB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleHohm Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Just as a hunch that this functionality existed, I dicovered that (at least on the checkbox I tried) an "=" will set a checkbox only if it is not set and a "-" will uncheck a box only if it is set. Hope this helps.

MSLx Fanboy Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Isn't the checkbox enabled by default? Just send a space... Writing AutoIt scripts since _DateAdd("d", -2, _NowCalcDate()) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleHohm Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I tested with FF V1.5 beta... perhaps it is a new feature.

purpleblue Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 Isn't the checkbox enabled by default? Just send a space...Unfortunately it's not that easy. Depending on the system/pc I run the script on, this box is enabled/disabled by default I tested with FF V1.5 beta... perhaps it is a new feature. Sorry.So it works with the new version of FF? Great, then I'll just have to wait till it goes final.Thx for your advice anyway, may be usefull in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
